Santa, hero or villain?

He has a magical flying vehicle, a special costume, knows who the bad people are.  But he has tons of minions which is usually a hallmark of bad guys.  Not to mention the housebreaking.  But he's doing it for a good purpose -- maybe Santa is an antihero?

Don't forget he also makes arbitrary judgements on children with no recourse to legal counsel or appeal...

Re: Santa, hero or villain?

I have always been a firm believer that Santa is a dark and evil being, with sick thoughts and intentions.  Definitely an evil villain.

IIRC in German folklore Santa has a helper who abducts bad children and takes them into the Black Forest to eat them.

Plus, he gives toys and candy away for free!  He's attempting to undermine toy manufacturers while promoting harmful nutrition!

And the elves aren't minions.  They're slaves!

Well those kids probably deserved it, I mean Santa did judge them to be bad.

In reply to Broceliande (msg # 6):

He wears all red, he gives children toys despite their wealth, and he has an army of factory workers. I think we all knew what he is: A Communist! Someone resurrect McCarthy, the reds are back.

I can't imagine any of us on here arguing for santa as a good guy. We are all cynical internet people.

Re: Santa, hero or villain?

According to my husband, 'Of course he's a hero!  If it weren't for him, I wouldn't believe I could get away with any of those things.  I mean hey, look at O.J.'

*Shaking my head*  That's from my husband, not me.
